Correlation Coefficient: The correlation coefficient a concept from statistics is a measure of how well trends in the predicted values follow trends in past actual values. The correlation coefficient is a number between 0 and 1. If there is no relationship between the predicted values and the actual values the correlation coefficient is 0 or very low (the predicted values are no better than random numbers). As the strength of the relationship between the predicted values and actual values increases so does the correlation coefficient. A perfect fit gives a coefficient of 1.0.
